Somatic mutations at CA-repeat loci.
Human mutation - 1 Jan 1992
Jones M H, Nakamura Y
Abstract excerpt
We found somatic mutations, detected as novel PCR bands, at three separate polymorphic CA-repeat loci. At one of these loci, analyzed in a three-generation pedigree, a new band generated from the same paternal allele was observed in four of six offspring. The other two children inherited the alternative paternal allele unchanged. Somatic mutations at two additional loci were identified upon subsequent comparison...
